A strong condemnation has been given by the Nigeria Police Force on the actions of Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known as Portable, in a viral video where he was seen exhibiting irrational behaviour and hurling insults at police officers who were carrying out their legal duty.
The Force Public Relations Officer, CSP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, who expressed the feeling of the NPF in a statement on Wednesday, March 29, 2023, described Portable’s action as criminal and punishable by the criminal laws of Nigeria.
According to CSP Adejobi, “the action of the singer in the video was unruly and conduct likely to cause a breach of peace and incitement of violence against the officers who were detailed to execute a warrant of arrest on him for series of allegations of criminal acts leveled against Mr Portable.
“The NPF will take all necessary steps to investigate his actions and ensure that he is prosecuted for any criminal activity he may have committed, depending on the severity of the offence.
“The Force will not condone any unruly act, assault or attack on its officers who are on lawful duty. We need to respect our law enforcement agents who perpetually take the risk of maintaining law and order and fight crimes and criminality in our society,” the FPRO stated.
